Apr 12, 2013 2:19 PM in response to cub4plaby Bob Timmons,If you have the newer "square" versions of the AirPort Extreme.....AirPort Utility 6.2 is far superior to any previous version of AirPort Utility as far as configuring a roaming network is concerned.
The process is so simple, it's literally automatic.
On the other hand, if you have the older "round" versions of the AirPort Extreme, Kappy has you on the right track as you will need to install AirPort Utility 5.6 to be able to administer the devices. Follow the instructions in the article that you reference to configure the AirPorts.
Please confirm on what versions of the AirPort Extreme that you have and also whether or not the "main" AirPort Extreme is already set up and working correctly.
I assume that you have already tested the Ethernet cable leading to the location of the second AirPort Extreme with a laptop to make sure that it is working correctly. Is that correct?
